EA has unexpectedly released the first batch of FIFA 15 Ultimate Team winter transfers or January transfers ahead of the scheduled January month end. This is a huge surprise providing these transfers a full week ahead of schedule.

Real world transfers completed so far have been included in FUT 15. This means that you will find Wilfried Bony, Fernando Torres and Shaqiri at Manchester City, Atletico Madrid and Inter respectively. EA confirmed the transfers on their website and have made a Google document showing all of the transfers currently made in the game thus far.

We expect that EA will release the next batches in the coming weeks. By no means did anyone expect this release so early, but maybe the franchise is being proactive ahead of the mad scramble of transfers coming next week.
